Conference Description
The RNA Nanotechnology GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
The 2023 GRC on RNA Nanotechnology will promote scientific exchange and cross-disciplinary collaborations among scientists working in RNA chemistry, biology, biophysics, medicine, engineering and biotechnology. The nine sessions will feature presentations on nucleic acid structure and assembly, RNA modification, synthetic biology, nanostructures, biomaterials, extracellular vesicles, therapeutics, diagnostics, and imaging. Each session will also include short talks selected from abstracts submitted by poster presenters. Ample opportunities for extended discussions will be provided after each presentation and during breaks.
This conference aims to expand participation in the young and dynamic field of RNA Nanotechnology. A Power Hour will offer all attendees an opportunity to discuss topics and challenges of diversity and inclusion in the sciences. The 2023 GRC will be preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) organized by young researchers, who are strongly encouraged to also participate in the main conference.
We hope you join the conversation at the leading edge of RNA science and technology!
The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include 9 sessions and the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. Please check back regularly for updates to this information.
